My Civic Engagement Blog (Dizzy... ouch)

Hello everybody! I'm losing my mind... and I'm a little dizzy too. That's beside the point though. Today, I want to talk about our game and what it teaches. Our games Ideals concept is how America came to be. Most people couldn't understand a lot about Lewis and Clark's journey across the United States. Lewis and Clark were said to have been the first men to set foot in the Western United States. They also helped to build the America that we live in today. It's more important than most people think. Our game also teaches that they helped build peace between the Native Americans. We teach that through our scrolls which we put in the levels to collect. At the end of the game, you get a quiz based on what you learned. It's a pretty simple method of teaching. If you want to learn about the journey further, go here .

Well, that's all for now folks. See ya!

Civics Blog (Wassup)

Wazzup! Josh is back! Today, I want to talk about civic information reliability, or something like that. On television, you can find many sources of civics including the news, law enforcement, court, and others like that. Though, it depends on what you can rely on that tells the truth. For instance, I watch the "O' Reilly Factor" on TV with my grandparents because we can all trust that show to give us the truth. It is easy to take the false truths, in some cases, 'hook, line, and sinker'. If anyone is trying to find the true resources, I'd start by watching the news and then move on to the courts. From there, you can go anywhere. You could even watch law enforcement, such as "Law and Order", or news and debating, such as the "O' Reilly Factor". It's all good. If you want to learn about the "O' Reilly Factor", try going here.

An so, I bid you all farewell. See ya!

My Civic Engagement Blog (Tillsay atingday Ritneybay!)

Hello! This is Josh again! Today, I want to discuss a game made by another team. I'm talking about "The Muffin Tanks". Their game is called "Survival of the Smartest" and they go to South Harrison High School. In their game, I see a lot of differences between the Paper Prototype and the actual demo. Like, for instance, the character in the Paper Prototype is an actual person, but in the demo, he's a stick figure. The enemies in the Paper Prototype are fully drawn monsters whereas the enemies in the demo are stick figures. The scenes are different too, but I'm not going to get into all that. I think that the changes that they've made are better than the original idea. As a fellow game designer, I say that these changes have definitely helped the games originality and fun factors. I also think that they don't need to change the demo any more because it's awesome the way it is. Good luck to all of you!

If you want to check out their demo go here.
Check it out!
